Original Tender Description

Plus Dane Housing are running a preliminary market engagement exercise for Electronic Payment Services. Plus Dane is at an early stage in the development of its requirements and is testing the market prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity to seek input as to what might be the most potentially attractive way of packaging and scoping a future procurement. This exercise will provide an opportunity for Plus Dane to obtain insight as to how potential providers might approach delivery and provide useful insight into the likely level of interest in the market. Potential bidders will not be prejudiced by any response or failure to respond to the preliminary market engagement. Potential bidders must also note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement that Plus Dane may conduct, nor that Plus Dane will procure any such contract. Any procurement carried out will strictly be in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Procurement Act 2023 and internal policies. Plus Dane has developed a questionnaire that they would like interested parties to complete, interested parties may then be invited to meet with the project team to discuss the options in more detail. The outcome of the market engagement will inform an options appraisal with recommendations on how to progress.

Tender Quality Score

This preliminary market engagement is well-structured and clearly communicated, aiming to gather valuable market insights for a future formal procurement of Electronic Payment Services.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly states its adherence to relevant UK procurement regulations for future stages, and the PME itself is a legitimate pre-procurement activity. However, the 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are unpopulated, which is a minor data quality issue.

•Unpopulated 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields
•Missing 'Liable Person'
Clarity90/100

The purpose, scope, and non-prejudicial nature of this preliminary market engagement are exceptionally clear. Requirements for participation are well-defined and understandable, appropriate for a market sounding exercise.

Completeness70/100

While essential information like title, organization, and deadlines are present, the structured data fields for 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'Liable Person' are unpopulated. The estimated value is intentionally classified, which is acceptable for a PME.

•Unpopulated 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'Liable Person' fields
Fairness90/100

The tender explicitly states that participation is non-prejudicial, provides full document access via an e-sourcing portal, and sets reasonable deadlines for a questionnaire. Requirements are generic and not tailored to a specific company.

Practicality85/100

Electronic submission is fully supported via the Delta eSourcing portal, and all necessary URLs are provided. Projected contract dates are also clearly stated, enhancing practicality for potential respondents.

Data Consistency75/100

Key dates are logical, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'Liable Person' fields are inconsistently populated as 'None' or empty, indicating minor data entry gaps.

•Inconsistent population of 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'Liable Person' fields
Sustainability50/100

The preliminary market engagement does not explicitly mention green procurement, social aspects, or innovation as specific requirements or areas of focus, which is common for an initial market sounding.

•No explicit sustainability or innovation focus

Strengths

Clear purpose and scope of the preliminary market engagement
Excellent use of e-sourcing for market engagement and response submission
Explicit statement of non-prejudicial participation for potential bidders
Good data consistency for core tender elements (dates, CPV, organization)

Concerns

Gaps in structured data fields ('Type', 'Procedure', 'Liable Person')
Lack of explicit sustainability or innovation focus within the PME documentation

Recommendations

1. Ensure all structured data fields are populated accurately to improve data quality and completeness.
2. Consider incorporating questions related to sustainability, social value, and innovation into the market engagement questionnaire to inform future procurement requirements.
